I think the T99 is a PCI modem, does it have USB mode capability?

It may support it hardware wise, but the firmware has to have it enabled. The Foxconn modems I know nothing about personally, but I have seen people messing with them in so many ways including enabling carrier aggregation combos and enabling and disabling 4x4 MIMO, etc.
We need a Foxconn firmware pro to chime in.

Hi Rich, any tips/pointers on how one might go about enabling USB mode on one of these suckers? there seems to be a plethora of the HP variants available on AliEx ~$75US, so if they could be made to work with USB (2 or 3,) might make for an economic hi-speed solution for use with Rooter... Thanx, Paul.

I just ordered one of these modems (aka X55, aka L83053-005, aka T99W175.16) for my laptop, so I was researching whether it would be supported in Rooter for testing purposes. I hope to receive it this weekend.
I know with Quecte1 RM5x, the AT command to change between USB and PCI is AT+QCFG="data_interface",#,#.
<network> Integer type.
0 Set the network port communication via USB interface.
1 Set the network port communication via PCIe interface.
<diag> Integer type.
0 Set the diagnostic port communication via USB interface.
I will report back on my findings with compatibility.

The .16 says it's for Canada only per the documentation. Very interested what you are able to successfully connect to if you are US-based. I'd really like to be able to migrate to 5g and those modems have a nice price.
/edit: what that documentation means vs reality of that hardware I'm not sure but it's scared me off enough to avoid buying one until now

The modem arrived DOA (or I killed it). It is unresponsive.

I'll bet you it's the protocol. These only support PCIE/MHI wich the WG1608 doesn't do and is actually a little bit difficult to find an adapter to support converting the B Key to something more easily usable.
